However, something tells me this won't go over well.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:07 PM ^
I don't understand why someone insists on commenting this at the beginning of every single thread. It looks like this is going over fine. Keep it to yourself.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:19 PM ^
From past experiences I know a lot of people go by usernames because they don't want their personal info out there. I'm not sure I've ever seen this commented at the beginning of any thread. If you're comparing this to "in before delete" you're way off. I don't think this is delete worthy at all.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^
Then they need not reply. Problem solved.

I have been reading mgoblog for an insanely long time and it's sort of depressing at this point.
February 26th, 2015 at 8:10 PM ^
What's depressing is that you have only 830 mgopoints in 7 years. If Lord Grantham had started that long ago he would have more points than Brian, lsa2000 and WD combined. Are you still working under the old point system where they are harder to come by?
Also, did lord Grantham get ban hammered?
February 26th, 2015 at 10:23 PM ^
I predate mgopoints. I became more of a lurker right around the time the point system was introduced.

I am from the metro-NY area. Attended Michigan from 1994-1998 (yup, senior year was amazing).
I played HS hockey, and since football wasn't all that popular with HS kids when I was growing up, didn't give a crap about football until I attended my first game at the big house. Then I was hooked.
Hobbies include anything Michigan football related and weight lifting. I am fairly obsessed with my two boys (7 and 3) and have already taken them to two games at the Big House.
February 26th, 2015 at 5:36 PM ^
How did your 3 year old (and you) handle going to the game? Did you have to leave early? Did you bring other things along to keep him occupied? Did he want to run around instead of watch?
I have a 3 year old and would like to take him to events but want to make sure it is worth it for everyone.

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really.
At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:18 PM ^
Thank you, Dr. Evil.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:18 PM ^
When did you go from being Mr. Evil to Dr. Evil?
February 26th, 2015 at 4:32 PM ^
when he finished evil medical school?
February 26th, 2015 at 4:20 PM ^
I hope you copy-and-pasted that.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:27 PM ^
I had already allowed all my hair, beard, and ample body hair to grow to outrageous lengths and thicknesses. I then allowed the three finest Zoroastrians I have ever met to shampoo the hair and to massage Thalisian oil upon the shorn area while chanting Strolovian incantations. Epic to say the least.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:29 PM ^
You are really named Dougie, and these two men are your father and brother:
February 26th, 2015 at 4:46 PM ^
This is not going well.
February 26th, 2015 at 5:07 PM ^
Too funny. My first thought when I saw this thread was to post Dr. Evil's biographical monologue. Excellent work.
February 26th, 2015 at 4:07 PM ^
I had a dream last night that involved Brian and mGrowOld. Nothing weird...we just boozed, watched a Michigan bball game, and crashed at Brian's place. So yeah, it was really weird. I think i'm going on an mgohiatus for a bit.
February 26th, 2015 at 5:52 PM ^
I had a similar dream once but it was Michigan Fball and after the game we decided to drink Jonestown punch. At the last moment I chickened out. Brian didn't.

Sports your played in HS/college: Football, Track in HS. Walk-on freshman year University of Toledo 1992. NOT inaugurated to the order of St. Kovacs (quit after 1 season)
HS mascot: Wildcats
Funny, yet not story: Listed at 6'5" 290 in high school (Five FAKES out of Five). Walked-on at Toledo and was measured at 6'4" 270. Stood next to Andy Katzenmoyer who measured 6'3" at the combine and was WAY taller than me (even taking cleats into account). Must mean that 6'5" is the new 6'0"!
February 26th, 2015 at 4:29 PM ^
I went to Northview as well. Class of 2013. Go Wildcats!
I just feel old.
Go 'Cats!

Speaking of teacher connections, one of my high school English teachers graduated with Madonna. Easy to forget the age of celebrities, but it's weird seeing Madonna the sex symbol and then her classmate, a gray-haired woman well into middle age. Amazing what you can do with botox, photoshopping, and an army of people whose job is to make you look good.
February 26th, 2015 at 5:33 PM ^
Well, I'd argue it's just as much insane diet and exercise. Madonna isn't as much a product of cosmetic surgery and Photoshop as she is of being a lifetime dancer who has remained in consistently ridiculous shape. She's ripped. It isn't that abnormal in the dance world, really.

Her mother's family Is from Bay City. She comes up here quite oftain. And is common to bump into her at St Lawerence Brothers Nut House.

Maizenblue92 is an account that is co-used by twin brothers. We created it way back in '09 when we were in high school and neither one of us wanted to start a new account with 0 Mgopoints.
Fun story: I saw our fearless leader get yelled at by a guy at the 2012 CCHA championship game. The guy threatened Brian and was eventually kicked out. It was about 10 rows in front of me.
EDIT: Also I am friends with Alex Cook IRL. We have been friends since our time at Grandville High School.

Is it common for kangaroos to have pet wallabys? Haven't made it down under.

That's a good one...
